Actually both spellings are correct; it is more ethnically correct to use
the Italian spelling, "Biscotti".
I guess it's somewhat like the US versus British spelling of some words,
i.e., colour & color, theater & theatre.

looks to me like it should mean "small forests."

If you are looking for the grungiest, visit a Goodwill Industries store. In
the U.S. they are generally 50 cents.
